   I've been trying for a while now to make a script to make the character face the mouse loacation, using an 8 way character. Ive done the incredibly easy part but of course this means that he will always face up and down, unless you are on the exact y location of the player, this is also useless for an 8 way character, how can i get it to work with relatively straight lines, or at least so that within certain blocks of say 50 by 50 the player can face so it is a square edged triangle for the mouse to go in, however little that makes sense :o
   So far this is just the simple bit I have:

    if (mouse.x > player.x) player.FaceLocation(cCharacter.x + 50,cCharacter.y);
    if (mouse.x < player.x) player.FaceLocation(cCharacter.x - 50,cCharacter.y);
    if (mouse.y > player.y) player.FaceLocation(cCharacter.x,cCharacter.y + 50);
    if (mouse.y < player.y) player.FaceLocation(cCharacter.x,cCharacter.y - 50);

   If anyone can understand my bad explanation help would be greatly appreciated

   Whenever i try run my game, i go to the light switch, which changes room, and this error message is displayed:
it comes up with the usual "an error has occured please note down the following" etc. The room load function doesnt exist and I know from the help section what this is, but its sloly grown so that once i ran it and it crashed, then i tried it again and another thing which worked perfectly before crashed, now my whole game is falling apart around my ears with that message being displayed when i change most rooms. All i did inbetween the two tries where it worked perfectly and when it stopped was import a walkable area mask.
   I've tried reinstalling AGS, and changed all sorts of functions i made but it still doesnt work

   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome works a charm

cheers works like a charm

   nope still cant crack it :o

   I was hoping  to alter the display function, or create my own similar function useing display so whenever i use my function , it will display the text at a certain height and width within the bounds of the level (so if I have a level bigger then my resoloution it wont go off the screen). I've tried copying some of the script from the overhot module, using similar bounds as those I set for that but it just shows nothing.
   as for lazyness, you cant blame a guy for trying

   I want a point in my game where a character walks on a platform , then walks around it , down some stairs and under the same spot, just lower down. Its easy to turn on and off walkable areas of course but i can do the same for walk behinds as far as i know. i searched the knowledge base but no luck there.
   It would be brilliant if anyone could come up with a soloution, or perhaps something blindingly obvious that i've missed. Any help would be brilliant

   Im just making my first game and i have an annoying problem.

   Is there a way i can automatically set the display function to display my strings of text at a specific location, such as on my GUI without having to use at x at y for each one, altering the global script to incorporate this. i could do it the long way but im lazy and if anyone knows a simple way to do this it would be much appreciated
